'De Mol' is one of the most popular tv-shows in The Netherlands and Flanders. Nine candidates have to try to do all kinds of different tests while in their midst is hidden a mole, some who will try to sabotage everything they do. The Dutch show is currently preparing the 19th(!) season. It is almost a surprise no one before wrote about it.

In this book, during the filming of a new season, one of the candidates gets kidnapped and they find out that there is also a mole in Production, but while making a show in distrust, who can you trust? It was a very fast read and entertaining enough, but most of the challenges never felt so difficult and also the writing sometimes felt a little awkward. The solution was a bit disappointing, but I think people will like it anyway.

This is the free booklet provided to everyone who buys a book during National Bookweek. It's written by a famous Flemish writer I was curious about, but unfortunately I didn't like it. The writing was exactly as I've come to expect from Dutch/Flemish writers (and which is the reason I don't usually read them), and the story felt like a rip-off of the Scandinavian books like the Man called Ove and the 100-year old... but done worse. Wouldn't recommend, but you can use it as a trainticket on Sunday March 18.
